We're starting November with our first monthly challenge! This month we're featuring October's FIRST kit ever - The Confection Connection. You may remember it being featured as a freebie on October's old blog back in April 2012. For those of you who don't already own "The Confection Connection" you can purchase it (and all of the add-ons) for 50% off throughout the month of November.

Your challenge is to create a NEW layout (pages you've already created and/or uploaded DO NOT count towards an entry) using "The Confection Connection" and post it in the special "November Monthly Challenge" album on the October Dawn Designs site. More than 1 layout may be submitted, and each layout counts towards another entry. All layouts MUST be posted by NO later than 12 midnight CST on Friday, November 30, 2012 to qualify. Two winners will be chosen from all entries. The first winner will be randomly picked from ALL entries using Random.org. The second winner will be voted on by the October Dawn Designs creative team. Both winners will be notified via email by no later than Friday, December 7, 2012.

Each winner will receive a coupon code good for $5 off ANY order in the October Dawn Designs store. The coupon code will be sent via email.

And, if you're new to October Dawn Designs (or just need a reminder) here are the product previews. Each preview is linked to the store so you can easily purchase it.

And, for those of you who want the whole kit and caboodle, you can purchase it as a bundle and save even more money!

If you don't already have it, October has a really cute set of Mickey balloons available on her blog. Just click on the preview to get to the blog post where you can find the download link.

Here's what I created using The Confection Connection.

See you next time!
